Abstract
The effective measuring range of an electromagnetic wave resistivity instrument used in logging while drilling (LWD) is small, and the resistivity measurement is greatly influenced by the dielectric constant, especially in high-dielectric-constant formations. In this paper, the response characteristics of the instrument under a high dielectric constant are investigated by a numerical simulation algorithm, and the resistivity conversion method is determined. The results show that the higher the working frequency of the electromagnetic wave resistivity instrument while drilling, and the greater the formation of background resistivity, the greater the influence of the dielectric constant on the logging response. The existence of the dielectric constant will cause the phase shift and amplitude attenuation of the measured signal to migrate, and this migration is proportional to the formation resistivity and the dielectric constant. According to this rule, the resistivity–permittivity response library is established, and the formation permittivity is calculated by the inversion of the library. On the basis of obtaining the formation permittivity, the migration of the logging signal permittivity is corrected, the influence of the dielectric constant is eliminated, and the measuring precision and measuring range of the instrument in the high-dielectric-constant formation are enlarged.
